A university student on the smaller earth had just graduated with honours. He got a notion to take a nostalgic walk through his old school. He now had a Bachelor’s Degree, which would pave the way for a successful well paid career, and the chance to meet the girl of his dreams in an upmarket white collar office environment.

It was very late in the day. He had brought a torch with him, in case he was out after sunset. He walked through the school, and then into the forest. He had always been too busy to explore it, when he was at school, working much harder than the other students. He saw his graduation as a cue for taking time out to do those little things he’d missed, before he started out on a new life.

He found a trans-dimensional tube, which took him to the giant gardens of the giant girls’ school. He was found by a pretty looking teacher, and then he remembered her. He had been through another trans-dimensional tube once before. His name was Ted, and he had seen this woman snatch a boy up from the garden of an evening party 15 years ago and swallow him whole.

She took him into an office and put him on her desk.

“I’m Mrs Haye, by the way.”

“I’m Ted. I’ve just graduated from university. I thought I’d take a few weeks holiday, before I start looking for a start to my career.”

“You’re welcome to stay here,” said Mrs Haye, “I can fix you up for a few weeks with all the comforts you need, at a size that will suit you, and nobody else can get into this office. I can bring you all the food you’ll need.”

He was wondering why she was being so nice to him, after being so awful to the boy she’d caught in Lera’s garden 15 years earlier.

“Thank you. I think I’d like to do something completely original with this holiday. I hadn’t gotten further than the walk in the forest, in my plans, but this sounds like a lot of fun.”

He didn’t mention that he had loved the feel of the older woman’s now giant sized fingers holding his body, and that he hoped she would often pick him up and carry him around. The fact that she was older than him, decades in fact, was also something which turned him on immensely.

Mrs Long talked with Toby until the school had settled down for the evening. Then she took him from the teachers’ lounge to her own classroom, and sat at the table. She took her own mobile phone out of her handbag.

“Do you think you’ll be able to hold onto your mobile phone, on the way down my throat?” she asked.

“I guess so,” he said, “Do you want me to use the light function of it like a torch in your stomach?”

“You could do that, I guess. I’d like to get your number now, and then call you after I’ve eaten you. I think it’ll be nice to keep talking to you, while you’re in my stomach. What do you say to that?”

“As worried as I am, that you’ve finally got me, I like the novelty of your idea,” said Toby, and gave her his number, which she keyed into her phone.

“Are you still in love with me?” she asked.

“Absolutely. I only stayed away all these years for my safety, until I learned the hypnotism, so that I could come back and see you again.”

“I’m glad you took the trouble, and even gladder still that it didn’t work,” she said.

She began licking him over and over again.

“I have to admit, that feels very nice,” he said.

“Tell me about it!” said Mrs Long, “I’ve missed the taste of you on my tongue since that meeting we had ten years ago.”

“You know I’d escape at the first opportunity, Mrs Long, but since I can’t, I can also honestly say I’m thrilled that you’re going to do this.”

“You’re gracious in defeat, Toby. It’ll be stimulating for me too. It feels even more rewarding, to know that I’ve been after you for more than a decade, and that I’ve lived up to my prediction that I’d have you one day and eat you.”

“I love it when you say the words ‘gobble you all up.’ There’s something so arousing about those words being spoken by the very beautiful mouth which is going to do that gobbling.”

“Well then let me oblige you, Toby. I’ve enjoyed licking you, and now I AM GOING TO GOBBLE YOU ALL UP!”

“Congratulations on your victory, Mrs Long.”

“Hold onto that phone tightly,” she said, “Try to keep the hand which holds the phone off my tongue. I’ll be sure to let the rest of your body enjoy it for a while before I gulp you down.”

She put him into her mouth, and he slid around on her tongue, taking care not to dampen the phone. Finally she gulped him down her throat in stages. His body was now that of a full-sized adult, although still very small to a giant woman like Mrs Long. He reached her throat, and then her stomach, and turned on the phone, to illuminate the pink wall of flesh which surrounded him.

Soon the telephone rang.

“Hello little Toby. I’m so glad you brought your phone. I’ve never had the chance to talk to my other little boys after I’ve eaten them. So what’s it like down there?”

“Soft and comfortable. I’m staying as close to the top as I can for now,” he said.

“You won’t be able to avoid being digested forever, Toby. In the end, you’ll be all consumed into part of me.”

“It’s incredible hearing you say that, Mrs Long. To think that I’ve just been eaten by a beautiful giant woman, who has been after me since I was a little boy.”

“At the risk of sounding repetitive, are you still in love with me?” she asked.

“Of course. How could this possibly change that? There’s something about being here inside your stomach, talking to you like this, which makes me love you even more than before. I can’t explain it.”

“I’m finding that I’m all tensed up, while I’m thinking of you.”

“I have felt a bit of heaving down here in your chest, since we started talking.”

 “So you really love me, do you?”

“Yes. If you hadn’t eaten me, I’d have asked you to be my partner for the rest of time. You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever known. I’d like to have been in the position to be able to give you all the best things in life. At least I am happy to know that I’ve given you something you enjoy very much.”

“I always thought you were a cute delicious little boy, Toby, but you’ve grown into a handsome romantic young man too. I hope this is worth something to you Toby: I love you too.”

“Of course it is. It’s worth almost everything to me, Mrs Long. The only thing it can’t be now is the chance to act on it.”

“I’m sorry. I was thinking constantly about gobbling you all up. Does that phrase still sound as exciting to you, now that I’ve done it?”

“In a way. I picture you sitting in the classroom, talking to me, and licking your lips.”

“Actually, I’ve just stepped out of the classroom. I’m walking in the school gardens. Do you know that swing set near the garden of one of the tubes?”

“Yes.”

“I’m just approaching the swing now. How are you feeling?”

“I’m thinking about the fact that we’ve just found each other, declared our love for each other, and we can’t kiss each other. I can’t throw my arms around any part of you and cuddle you.”

“Would you really stay with me forever, even after all this?”

“Of course.”

Mrs Long thought for a few moments. She no longer had Casey at home to love. They had been together for a long time. Yet Toby had apparently liked her all those years too.

“I hope this doesn’t shake you up, Toby,” she said.

Suddenly he felt her whole body turning upside down.

He fell towards her throat again, but from the opposite direction this time.

“Are you still there, Toby?” she asked.

“Yes. What’s happening out there? Are you trying to finish me off even sooner?”

“I’m hanging by my legs from the bar that supports the swings. I don’t know if I can reverse gulp you back to my mouth. You’ll have to climb through my throat yourself until you get to my mouth. Once you’ve got a good grip on my back teeth, I’ll open my mouth and have my hands waiting for you to slide out onto.”

“Are you serious? Mrs Long, I don’t know what to say.”

“Just go quickly, before the whole thing goes wrong, or my original permanent plans for you will be beyond even my ability to change.”

He edged his way into her throat, and made his way to her mouth. Her tongue was almost vertical now, as she hung and he looked out into the lamp lit view of her hands below. He slid along her tongue, out of her mouth, and onto her hands.

Then she sat down on the swing and kissed him.

“Oh Toby, I guess you can have your cake and eat it.”

“That much has proved true, my first and only love,” he said, “But I still think that a man can’t LIVE without a mobile phone these days.”

She kissed him ecstatically.

“I suppose I’ll have to stop eating boys now, if I want to win your heart forever.”

“You’ve already won my heart forever,” he said, “But changing your diet certainly couldn’t hurt our relationship.”

“I’ll see what I can do,” she said.

“What enabled me to win YOUR heart, Mrs Long?”

“I realised that you loved me with such an undying passion, that you devoted ten years of your life, not to getting over me, but to finding a way to come back and admire me from the school gardens, and you risked your hypnotism idea just to be closer to me. You kept on loving me, even after I brought to fruition the oldest fears I’d given you. It was still my intention to leave you gone and gobbled tonight. But then I must have been falling in love with you in the discussion that led up to doing it. I became consciously aware of my feelings for you during our mobile phone conversation, after I’d eaten you.”
